I have Starlink and am in a wooded part of New England. I mostly agree with freedomben's points. All I will add is I still use my cell phone hotspot (Verizon -- only carrier that gets a modicum of service where I am) for Zoom calls or similar. Starlink is definitely fast but too many hiccups for video calls.

Edit: More musings. There is a push to get broadband in our area within the year. If that happens and Starlink's service remains the same, I will cancel Starlink. For me continuous connectivity is much^3 more important than speed.

I suspect the hiccups will gradually disappear as more satellites get deployed.

60 satellites batches, just about every week, pretty amazing:

"Rural" and East Coast is basically the metropolis some other areas of the world. Not surprising you'll have something better than Starlink sooner or later. Lots of other places? Not gonna happen.

I never claimed I was in a "rural" area, just a "wooded" one. Indeed, Starlink will be a great option for many places. I personally hope they improve the coverage with more satellites so I can continue using it.
